Calibrating a Govee

[Poodlemum]

It’s been well over 24 hours since I started calibrating my Govee and it’s hovering in the 65% area. Varying .1% +/- every few hours for a while now. Is this as good as it’s getting? Thanks!

Hope someone sees this thread! I don’t know anything about incubators, is that what you’re talking about?

Thank you! The Govee is a second hygrometer you put in the incubator because apparently the incubator can be reading incorrectly? No idea what I’m doing tbh lol

Yeah, it’s always recommended to have at least one other thermometer in your incubator .

I have one of those things but didn't know they could be calibrated. What are you calibrating it against?

The salt method

Oh, OK. Thank you very much.

8-12 hours should be good enough. So it reads 65% when it should read 75%.

75 / 65 = 1.15

So mulitply what you see on the govee by 1.15 to get the real humidity.

Thanks! Looks like I’m good to go!
